Non-communing children and adults are welcome to come forward for a blessing.

WEDNESDAY SOUP SUPPERS/LENTEN SERVICES
On Wednesday, March 12th, we began our midweek soup suppers/Lenten services. Soup suppers begin at 6:15 p.m., with a Lenten service to follow at 7:00 p.m. All are welcome! The theme this year is “Savior Servant Friend.” We hope to have 2 volunteers each week to prepare the soup or sandwich and salad-type suppers. A sign-up sheet is on the table in the narthex. There is now a 5-quart crock pot available in the kitchen for use with the soup suppers and other FLC congregational events.
FLC SERVICE OPPORTUNITIES
There are opportunities coming up that we need members to do the planning for or assist with. The first opportunity is for light refreshments after worship service on the last Sunday of the month. We have February and March covered already. Snacks could be cookies, cookie bars, fruit, or other small treats that will be enjoyable as people talk after church in the narthex. The second opportunity is preparations for the church's 45th anniversary of founding. This will be a short term ministry team. If you are interested in either of these opportunities, please let Ruth Albert or Pastor Robin know.
2025 EASTER FLOWER ORDERS
If you would like to order Easter flowers, a sign-up sheet is on the table in the narthex. Deadline to order is Sunday, March 16th. Lilies are $13 each; tulips, hyacinth, and daffodils are $10 each. Place payment in the offering plate or pay with Vanco Mobile. Please make all checks payable to Fellowship Lutheran Church and put Easter flowers in memo line.
